OK, how many guns do YOU own...

[skippythwndrdog]

19 for me.

[4_Legs_Good]

1. Zero

[Richardo]

2. None. Here in Texas, that makes me technically a eunuch.

:eyes:

[skippythwndrdog]

10. I thought that they issued every household one.

Kind of like Switzerland

[Damien]

34. there is that one town in Utah

where you MUST own one...I think Bowling For Columbine mentioned it.

[skippythwndrdog]

56. There is one in Georgia, also.

[Beer Snob-50]

3. just my love gun.

[AngryAmish]

4. remind me not to break into your house

I own none because I think I would be a bigger danger to myself. Plus handguns are illegal where I live.

8. Look...the slams begin.

BTW, this is the right forum, as it isn't related to rights/control.

[Wonk]

11. Read this link. It's been stuck at the top of the gun forum for months.

[BiggJawn]

20. when you say "most"...

Don't you really mean "I"?

I can speak for myself just fine, Wonk...

Besides, we all KNOW that my "fetish", as you put it, is bicycles....:D

[Wonk]

23. I base it on previous polls and threads I've seen on DU about this.

The fetishists are definitely a minority, albeit a vocal one.

[Beware the Beast Man]

49. See you next Tuesday.

[Lady Freedom]

6. Uh... none.. but

I do own 2 broadswords! Do they count?

[skippythwndrdog]

9. Only if they are Scottish Baskethilts!

I have one of those.

[Lady Freedom]

16. No still looking for one that I like.

I'm very picky with my blades!

[skippythwndrdog]

29. Do you have any Paul Chen blades?

How do you rate his quality?

[Lady Freedom]

37. None yet

but he has done beautiful work! Most of mine come from the artisans that I meet at the KC Renaissance Festival. Nothing like meeting the people in person to know the quality of the blade because they always put a part of themselves in their work!

[skippythwndrdog]

39. Every year, in Glasgow KY, there is a great festival...

The Glasgow Highland Games. Check it out. www.glasgowhighlandgames.com The website does not do it justice.

[MASSAFRA]

7. Four

if you count the issued gun for work.

[DS1]

12. Who cares?

[B Calm]

13. I have 4. 3 shotguns, and a 22 rifle..

[GOPFighter]

14. Flamebait

Between you, me, and all my friends we have 19 guns.

Enjoy

[Lady Freedom]

21. I don't think so.

Many people, Dem's or Rep, collect guns. There is something about sending an object at break neck speed at something else fascinates people. There is a man in Britain that collects catapults.

[jpgray]

15. Enough to keep myself safe

That is to say, zero.

:)

[skippythwndrdog]

31. Good for you.

I'm glad you feel that way. You must live in a very safe area.

[kedrys]

17. One handgun. 4 swords though.

And an unholy number of dirks, daggers, balisongs, stilettos, etc.

[Lady Freedom]

25. Have any dirks with a rams head?

I have been wanting one, but most I have seen are not that nice. As I have said, I'm picky!

[kedrys]

28. Nope. Haven't found one I like either.

But I just sent for a replica of the Hattori Hanzo sword The Goddess Uma wielded in Kill Bill.

Needless to say, I'm not allowed to practice in the house :P

[Lady Freedom]

35. I go to my my Mom & Dad's

I practice with them. My BF Can't stand to watch. He gets queasy at the thought of an accident when we practice with the real deal instead of the practice dumby blades.

[liberalnurse]

18. Just only 2.

[Hobo]

19. I proudly state

I own 0 guns.


Hobo

[Dhalgren]

22. 5

[Zenlitened]

24. As a U.S. taxpeyer, I own gazillions of guns.

[Lady Freedom]

26. haha! Good point!

:yourock:

[ak]

27. 6

five long guns, one pistol

[Damien]

30. 1

I'm one of those liberals too.

[Sandpiper]

32. Zero

I did own a .22 rifle once upon a time though.

[Baclava]

33. Revive the Gungeon!

Nothing else will do.

[miss_kitty]

38. none

i guess i'm a target for criminals.

:scared:

[Lady Freedom]

44. Probably not.

The bad part of owning weapons is that criminals want to take them.

[skippythwndrdog]

46. The good part is that you can shoot back..n/t

[Lady Freedom]

47. Not in my case.

Slice back maybe?

[miss_kitty]

54. yeah I was kidding

it's scarier to have a gun about the place. It's late, you're drunk. You hear a noise, you call out, no one answers, you pull the trigger and BLAM! You've popped a cap in the arse of your family pet. Or your kid.

No. thank. you.

[11 Bravo]

59. If you would bust a cap into something you can't see,

then it's probably fortunate that you are not a gun owner.

[Cooley Hurd]

40. Just one...

It keeps the neighbors at bay...;)

[brokensymmetry]

41. 21.

It took awhile to add them up!

Here's my latest.

[Worst Username Ever]

42. 2 plus 2 black powder handguns and an antique (functional) shotgun

[Stop_the_War]

43. A grand total of : ZERO

[Phentex]

45. none

zip zilch nada

[CubsFan1982]

48. Zero.

Never have, never will.

[Placebo]

50. 14,869

:nuke:

[meisje]

52. 14,870

[Dastard Stepchild]

51. zero.....

but I own an illegal taser :headbang:

[petronius]

53. Two

Or four, if you count my freakishly oversized biceps. (or would that make six?)

[Starlight]

55. none n/t

[Billy Ruffian]

57. Enought to get more

:evilgrin:

(7, IIRC) Hoping to get a Garand soon.

[guitar man]

58. 4

one Colt 1911 .45 acp
one Mossberg 12 ga. pump
one Winchester 94, 30-30 lever
one AR-15

[sendero]

60. 7

Glock .40 semi pistol
FIE .25 semi pistol
Heritage .22/mag revolver
Ruger .22 lr rifle
Remington 870 12 ga shotgun
Remington 7400 30-06 rifle
Yugo SKS rifle

I need a mid-range rifle, maybe a .22 mag, and then I think I have all the guns I need.

[Billy Ruffian]

62. No way

You need a M1911 .45, and a .223, AR action (that's your midrange), and just for nostalgia, get an M-1, since it will use the .30-06

I wanna Garand, bad, since it's what my Dad would have had in Korea way back when.

[Thor_MN]

61. Two. They haven't been fired in years.

The bolt for the shotgun and the handgun are sitting in my safe and I'm they only one with the combination. If someone breaks into my house, they'll have to settle for getting their head beat in with whatever I have handy.

[derby378]

63. One old 12-gauge

Was my great-grandfather's. Basically a wall-hanger now from what one gunsmith told me.

Also owned a TEC-DC9 for about a month. Made too many people nervous, so I got rid of it.
